Detailed itinerary
1
Stop 1
From the cruise port, we head West to arrive at the Damajagua Waterfalls, one of the highest rated attractions on the North Coast of the Dominican Republic.
Nature has crafted here some awe-inspiring pools, etched out of limestone, with stalactites and stalagmites in a thousand colors. To get to the Damajagua Cascades we have to hike about 20-30 minutes uphill, and then we make our way back down by swimming, jumping, and sliding through the refreshing, crystal-clear water.

From here your adventure continues as you make your way to the zip lines. After the mandatory safety briefing from the trained, professional staff, it's time to feel the adrenaline on three different zip lines, certified and inspected upon ACCT standards.
No experience is required. Contrary to many other zip line parks you are not involved in any active breaking, like using gloves for stopping.
